Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
If you’re obsessed with wings like I am, but are looking for a healthier alternative, try these air fryer buffalo cauliflower bites! Cauliflower has a similar texture to potatoes, but without all the carbs. There are a few way you can prepare these, but I’ve been obsessed with my air fryer lately so that’s what I’ll be using for this recipe.
What you’ll need:
About 5 cups of cauliflower, chopped into florets
Buffalo Sauce – Frank’s Mild Buffalo sauce is my all time favorite!
Unsalted butter
How you’ll do it:
Spray the cooking basket in the air fryer with some non stick cooking spray
Add the cauliflower and cook at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Toss the cauliflower and add back in for about 5 minutes if they aren’t crispy yet. (Try cooking the cauliflower in smaller batches if they come out soggy – I’ve noticed if you over pack the air fryer they tend to not crisp evenly.)
Add cold butter to the warmed buffalo sauce and add to a large bowl, and pour the sauce mixture on stop and toss to fully coat.
Serve with blue cheese dressing for dipping and carrots and celery sticks to serve on the side.
The impossible pairing:
Yes, you can pair a wine (actually, quite a few!) to go with your buffalo dishes. A slightly sweet white wine will compliment the buffalo sauce the best. Reach for a Champagne, Moscato D’Asti or a Riesling. The fruity flavors and the low level of tannins really works with the buttery spice and they also help with the heat!
